Traditionally, Holidays are supposed to be joyful events or an honoring of somebody or thing. I suspect that this is far too painful event for anybody to think of celebrating any time soon.
Perhaps at some point down down the line it will be made into a Veteren's Day type of Holiday, except honoring police and firemen rather that military.
All you have to do is look at the fact that Hollywood, the first people knocking on the door of the suvivors of some tragedy for story and movie rights, took nearly five years to start making movies about it. I'm not sure about the Nicholas Cage movie, but Flight 193 was done with full cooperation and aid of the families aboard that flight, and was done almost more in documentary form.
So if even dogmatic Hollywood held back, and continues to hold back about it to a degree - I don't see anybody's wounds healed enough to make it into a holiday anytime soon, particularly since the event is still unfinished in our minds. We haven't won the war or terrorish, we haven't caught Bin Laden, we haven't built the memorial that is to take the place of the World Trade Center, and there are a lot of people who are still waiting for, sorry, every tiny bit of human remains found at the site to be matched by DNA to their lost ones.

It might.... afterall it was a federal plan to gain a tremendos amount of power from the citizens and the other branches of government (A ton of profit involved). Making 9/11a holiday would definitely follow the original plan for 9/11.

Doubtful - logistically, Labor day is usually the week or so before 9/11 and the gov't doesn't want to many paid holidays

I thought it already was a holiday called Patriot Day (or something like that)... though not a bank holiday yet

"Soon" is not the right word. I'm almost sure that one day, it will be like Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. But that is quite a few years down the line, not when we're still at war.

I don't think we should have any celebration of a government murdering its own people.
